Problems solved by technology

“Four-in-hand” neckties enhance the business appearance of an individual, and may be quite expensive.
When wearing a loose hanging necktie around mechanical devices, such as motor vehicle engine compartments and copying machines, a risk arises of the loose hanging necktie getting caught in the mechanical device.
These prior art devices have proven unsatisfactory for a variety of reasons.
Some have resulted in holes in the necktie, or other damage to the necktie fabric.
Some do not permit sufficient movement or play in the panels of the necktie.
Finally, some prior art devices do not present an appropriate appearance when used in conjunction with the necktie.
The third category discussed above solves a number of the needs identified; however, the '457 patent does not address the problem of using the device when the necktie label is positioned over a shirt button.
Moreover, neither the '457 patent nor the '438 patent provide a flat surface for affixing artwork.
